V God is fearful of the development of AI: Humans should create convenient tools, not intelligent life.

As the AI field is booming, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, expressed his fear of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and ASI (Artificial Superintelligence) on the 21st, as they may pose significant risks of getting out of control. He advocates for the development of tools that enhance human intelligence rather than creating super-intelligent life forms. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted in September this year that ASI would emerge in a few thousand days, surpassing AGI and having far greater capabilities in handling intellectual tasks than humans. Canadian singer Grimes also expressed her fear of ASI after observing the achievements of AI projects such as Janus, stating that she believes AGI has already been realized to some extent and that she is a bit scared of ASI. Vitalik Buterin responded by defining AGI as AI powerful enough to independently continue civilization if all humans suddenly disappeared and the AI was uploaded into robot bodies. He admitted that this definition is difficult to measure but believes it represents the potential intuitive difference between the “AI we are accustomed to” and AGI, which transitions from a tool that relies on human input to a self-sustaining life form. ASI, on the other hand, is a completely different matter. Vitalik Buterin defined ASI as the point where humans no longer generate value in the cycle, similar to how we have only achieved this in the past decade in chess games. Vitalik Buterin concluded by stating that ASI and his defined AGI both scare him due to the significant risks of losing control they bring. Therefore, he supports focusing efforts on creating tools that enhance human intelligence rather than constructing super-intelligent life forms.
